Enjoy today: Winter to be bleak
Ontario, Quebec face typical chill
Alas, everyone else will get a break

Large parts of Canada are promised an unseasonably mild winter this year, but not so Ontario and Quebec, which can expect a normal dose of cold and snow, according to Environment Canada.
The two central Canadian provinces are the odd men out this year in the weather agency's preliminary winter forecast that predicts most of the country will get some respite from the deep freeze.
"What we're saying is from Vancouver to Thunder Bay, Ont., that western part of Canada is looking like it'll be warmer than normal, so it's a continuation of what the fall has been like," says senior climatologist David Phillips.
"And then also pretty much the Maritimes, Gasp� and Atlantic Canada is also going to be warmer than normal.
"But in Ontario and Quebec, (the forecast) is near normal," he says.
Still, because some regions got so much snow last year � southern Ontario got 25 per cent more than normal � Phillips is predicting less snow compared to last winter. Sort of.
"We're seeing precipitations below normal. Now, that doesn't always mean less snow because we never say the type of precipitation. It could be (you have) below normal precipitation but your snowfall is higher because you have less rainfall," he says.
Phillips says the reason it's likely to be so mild for much of the country is the unusually hot summer has left heat trapped in the ground and water.
"(The last) four months have been warmer than normal so there's a lot of stored heat in the lakes and the rivers and the land and the soil," Phillips says.
"It's going to take a little while before that heat gets away."
He says it's pretty clear that an early winter isn't imminent because it hasn't even hit the northern parts of Canada yet.
"Until winter arrives in the North, it's not going to arrive in the south; that's where winter comes from," Phillips says.
But he says Canadians shouldn't get their hopes too high.
"Hey, we're the second coldest country in the world, we've never cancelled winter in this country," Phillips says.
He also warns that while Environment Canada got last year's winter prediction right, there are no guarantees.
Science has made forecasting much easier and more accurate, but it's still an inexact science.
"It's not like Malta or Cyprus, where it's easy to forecast the weather. These seasonal forecasts are very difficult in Canada because we are so far north. But we're getting better at it," he says.
"I would've said five, six or seven years ago, if you wanted the forecast, go get the Farmer's Almanac. But now there is some science to it and what's driving that is we're monitoring the oceans better."
He says that in years where there is an El Nino or La Nina � and there isn't this year � it's easy to predict the weather.
A La Nina means colder waters in the Pacific and a colder than normal winter.
Phillips says the trend over the last few years has been for milder winters.
"We've had a preponderance of winters in the last several years that have been warmer than normal," he says.
"The old-timers will tell me, `Yeah the winters aren't what they used to be,' and I used to think, `No, no, you just don't have a good memory.' Well, they're absolutely right," Phillips says.
"I don't know whether it's global warming or what have you but to get a good old-fashioned cold winter, there is less probability now than there used to be."

I can't believe its this hot an its october!
I usually have the sweaters pulled out by now,but i haven't needed to at all!
I am party Indian and I take no offence to this....I literally stayed indoors all weekend pretty much and slept...did it feel wonderful and needed....
I partied for 3 days but worked all weekend as well. Ugh...
I was closing the family cottage this weekend..... I got to spend a lot of time outside but not much of it enjoyable.... turns out a strong wind storm knocked our dock of it's mooring causing the dock and our 22 foot inboard to beach. I spent most of the day (saturday) trying to get the boat of the beach.... not fun.
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN EASIER IF MY GOOD FOR NOTHING BROTHER WOULD HAVE BEEN THERE TO HELP INSTEAD OF PARTYING ALL FUCKIN' WEEKEND!!!!
Stuck in doors caring for my son , poor little thing has got Pnumonia
(5 years old) wish he would get better or I wish i had it instead of him
